"Hey all, got discharged today. They claimed the surgery went well and kept me at the hospital to make sure I was okay. I go back for a CT scan in two weeks, but assuming all goes well, and I don't show any symptoms, I should make a full recovery in a few months."

"Hey guys, don't feel like typing everything and I'll explain more in detail. But I've been in the hospital all night and apparently I have a brain bleed on the left side of my head and they want to stop the bleeding and drain the blood so I'll be going into surgery soon."

"Right now I'm on anti-seizure meds and will be taking it day-by-day. No timetable for return, considering this was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. Thank you for all kind words and love it, means a lot and helps me push through. Will update here when I can."
